You both sent me the link to the identical MS Tool for the job. Excellent !!!

Will this back-up all me emails so I can import them back when I have reinstalled my windows and set-up again.

I did try the Wizard in outlook and as a test try to import back the PST file which was 1GB just over in size and when I pointed it to the location it could not see the PST file on my Desktop. Why didn't the wizard work I wonder.

back to the Tool from Microsoft, will this backup my emails in outlook and also will they restore back and how please
